Lately I have been getting quite a bit of spam, I don't get how they are getting onto my forum as I have registration security question, Than I have recapcha installed too. I am getting about 20 or so spam threads a day, For the past like 3 days or so. They are about credit cards too. Them trying to sale stolen credit cards or something like that. I really don't want spam especially to this extreme. I really need some help. I can't be having this kind of spam on my site. Its not good at all.

Thanks.

Yes, we should help cut quite a bit of the spam down. You can also use CloudFlare's threat control to help block the IPs of the spammers.

Alright I will give it a try. Perhaps that will help.

Also non registered users cannot post. I have had it like that since day one.

Great. Let me know if you have any question about CloudFlare. Some quick tips about CloudFlare and forums for you.
Use the registration security question:

CloudFlare has just made my CPU usage the worst... :/
There's no way CloudFlare could affect your CPU.

We wouldn't be impacting this at all. What are you basing this on?
